If there is no grievance system at the workplace, what effect can it have on women participation?

Correct answer: The sense of safety and trust may decline, reducing participation

A grievance system gives women a channel to report harassment, discrimination, or unsafe behaviour and seek redressal. Without it, confidence in safety and fair treatment may fall, and women may hesitate to join or continue at the workplace. Equality does not increase automatically; it also requires effective policies, training, and accountability. Exam tip: Link a grievance-redressal mechanism with workplace safety and women’s participation.
